An opportunity for director Gunasekhar to make a mass movie
with an artistic touch. And for Mahesh Babu to assert his
versatility. Dialogue writers Paruchuri Brothers once again
provide a fine verbal base for this action dream. Surprisingly
Mahesh Babu and Bhoomika, in the lead roles are the least
talkative. Manisarma's music is notable for the background
score elevating the drama.
The film is distinctly different from the Rayalaseema faction
films, though some characters hail from there. The main drama
is set in Hyderabad, to where Rayalaseema characters move.
For this purpose, a huge and expensive set against Charminar
backdrop was erected. Hero Ajay (Mahesh) lives in none of
the houses there. He has his own entry into the house, through
a trap door, to avoid being noticed by his disciplinarian
police officer father (Mukhesh Rishi) and mischievous younger
sister (Niharika). His mother (Geetha) is kind and affectionate.
Ajay is a kabaddi champion and goes to Kurnool to take part
in a tournament. He meets Swapna (Bhoomika) and rescues her
from the clutches of Obul Reddy (Prakash Raj). He then brings
her to Hyderabad and takes her to his room through the trap
door. And she continues to stay there without anyone's knowledge,
blending among the many dolls in his room whenever anyone
comes visiting Ajay. Ajay's priorities now are to get a passport
and visa for Swapna so that she can move away to the US and
then to win the national Kabaddi title for his team. He wins
the title but fails to send her abroad, as Swapna refuses
to leave him and go. How she becomes completely free of Obul
Reddy to be with Ajay forms the rest of the story.
Sakuntala's character as the mother of Obul Reddy is far fetched.
Despite the heavy make up and cigar in her mouth, she looks
younger and unfit for the role.
Chandramohan as Swapna's father and Geetha perform their roles
well. A scene showing Muslim devotees walking out of a masjid
after Friday prayer and burka-clad Muslim student tuouping
out of women's college from opposite direction walking across
each other, into which Ajay and Swapna mingle to escape the
notice of Obul Reddy is worth watching. Photographer Sekhar
V. Joseph shows imaginative camera work.
